An unholy act has been committed in a holy place, setting the shocking stage for the next Benoit Blanc mystery. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery has been released, and its central premise—the murder of a priest during Mass—is designed to shock and intrigue.
Daniel Craig is back as Benoit Blanc, the man who must step into this desecrated space to find a killer. The teaser emphasizes the gravity of this “impossible crime,” which is not just a murder but a violation of a sacred sanctuary. This raises the stakes and promises a story with deep moral and spiritual implications.
The cast of characters present for this unholy act includes those played by Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, and Mila Kunis, all of whom are now complicit in a web of sin and suspicion. Blanc’s new, more serious look seems a direct response to the profound nature of the crime.
After its premiere at TIFF, this shocking mystery is now heading for a global audience. Wake Up Dead Man will be released in select cinemas on November 26th before it begins streaming on Netflix on December 12th.
